Swap deal? Routledge for Burke?

Thu Dec 30, 2010 6:40 pm

is that's whats going on then? Routledge wants to come back Burke wants to be near home. Makes sense for all concerned. The only worry is Routledge is now playing regularly for Newcastle. A bit strange that he's happy to drop down a league.

But why would Newcastle want Burke ?

Why would Routledge want to come back here? Is he not a London lad hence why he left us last time.

No. IMHO Routledge is far better. If Routledge isnt good enough then Burke certainly isnt.

Only club I've seen have any interest from the Prem is Birmingham.

Also either club can get him for nothing in 3-4 months.

Routledge is worth a couple of million, Burke right now max £500k.

By the way, this isnt a go at Burke who is a decent player - bit inconsistent and doesnt track back enough, but a skilful winger, dont really think he's Premiership class though. Routledge though has explosive pace and can rip a side apart, possibly Prem class, but maybe not enough for newcastle if they have ambition of top 8.

Newcastle are trying to get SWP from Man City and thats why Routledge is likely to be available, no chance at SJP for Burke IMO but every chance of Routledge coming here. :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:
